[Verse 1]
E A
I met a girl out in the hills who gave my lonely heart a thrill,
E B
Her beauty seemed just like a breath of spring,
E A
And when I looked into her eyes I thought of bluish summer skies,
E B E
And when I held her hand in mine I heard the bluebirds sing.
[Chorus 1]
A
They sang of wondering (Wondering if you love her)
E
Will she marry (Marry if you'll ask her)
B E
Will their hearts beat (Hearts beat close together} for now and ever-more,
A
And when she's lonely (Lonely is he near her}
E
When there's sadness (Sadness will he cheer her)
B E
Will they always (Always be together) Until the end of time
[Verse 2]
E A
I courted her for months on end until she promised we would wed,
E B
She said that we'd be married in the spring,
E A
All through the long cold winter months I thought the spring would never come,
E B E
And every gloomy winter day I heard the bluebirds sing.
[Chorus 2]
A
They sang of waiting (Waiting for the flowers)
E
And I'm counting (Counting every hour)
B E
Till the bluebird (Bluebird brings the springtime) Into the world once more,
A
And while we're waiting (Waiting for the sunshine)
E
We keep hating (Hating every storm-cloud)
B E
That has gathered (Gathered o'er the mountains) To keep us far apart.
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
E A
And when at last spring touched the earth, We were married in the village church,
E B
Our wedding seemed just like a dream come true,
E A
Tho many years have come and gone, Our love is still as true and strong,
E B E
As when I found her long ago and still the bluebird sings.
[Chorus 3]
A
They sang of loving (Loving every hour)
E
That we're married (Married to each other)
B E
We'll be happy (Happy ever after) As since the day we met,
A
And though we're older (Older love is sweeter)
E
We grow fonder (Fonder of each other)
B E
We'll be sweethearts (Happy as the bluebirds) Until the end of time.
